We support hundreds of projects and initiatives in the Catholic Church through our grant programme and our growing network of members.
Evangelisation can and should happen wherever there is a baptised Christian - over coffee, in our offices and homes, as much as in our parishes and RCIA programmes - but each conversation calls for a different kind of clarity, confidence, and creativity, depending on who is in front of us.
On 29 May, the Guild of Our Lady of Ransom welcomes Dr Caitlin West (lecturer, speaker, catechist, and creator of the popular podcast series Crash Course Catholicism) for the Marian Lecture 2026, a practical follow-on to Mgr James Shea's Evangelising Post-Christian Britain in 2024.
The tools of effective evangelisation today are not speaking the loudest, winning the argument, or proving a point, but learning how to communicate the truth of the faith in a way that connects. Rooted in the call to "give a reason for the hope within us" (First Epistle of Peter 3:15), this lecture will show how to speak about the faith so that it truly resonates.
Drawing on her experience of making the Catechism accessible for a new generation, Dr West will offer a practical toolkit for communicating the faith well - grounded in prayer and the sacraments, and lived out in everyday life.
Doors open 7.00 pm (refreshments) | Lecture begins 7.30pm | 45–50 minute lecture, followed by moderated Q&A.
Tickets will be available from Friday the 24th of May.

Matthew Harvey Sanders, CEO of Longbeard and pioneer in “Catholic AI”, was a superb speaker: clear, compelling, and refreshingly hopeful. Feedback afterwards said it all: “one of the finest and most hopeful speakers I have ever heard”, and “a true beacon of hope”.
Matthew leads Longbeard, a Catholic technology company working at the frontier of AI, and his talk showed exactly why that matters. He explained why we’re living through a decisive moment and why the Church can’t afford to sit this one out.
